A group of Labrador Retriever males are imported carrying an allele frequency of 0.2. The existing Canadian population of Labradors has an allele frequency of 0.8. A follow up study of the purebred Labrador registration information shows that 30% of puppies registered in Canada after one year were sired by one of these foreign sires. What is the allele frequency in the Canadian male Labrador population? (to two decimal places and round to the nearest 0.01 - don't worry about the frequencies in the females, we will leave that for MBG-3060 next winter)

. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?
The Australian giant burrowing cockroach (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) is the heaviest cockroach in the world. You are the leading expert on the genetics of this species and are working to domesticate them for food production. Your starting population (G0) has a mean body mass of 30 g and variance of 0.674 g2. You select the largest roaches from this population to breed the next generation (G1). The selected breeders have a mean body mass of 32.4 g and a variance of 0.215 g2. If the narrow sense heritability (h2) of body mass in your cockroaches is 0.35, what will be the expected mean body mass of the G1 population? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes.
Two inbred lines of beans are crossed with one another. In the F1 generation, the variance in bean weight is 15. When the F2 generation is self-crossed, the F2 generation has the same mean, with a variance of 60. What is the genetic variance of bean weight in this population?
Orange coat color in cats is due to an X-linked allele (XO) that iscodominant with the allele for black (X+). When genotypes at the orangelocus were determined for a sample of cats in Minneapolis and St. Paul,Minnesota, the following data were obtained:XOXO females 11XOX+ females 70X+X+ females 94XOY males 36X+Y males 112Calculate the frequencies of the XO and X+ alleles for this population.
A wildflower native to California, the dwarf lupin (Lupinus nanus) normally bears blue flowers. Occasionally, plants with pink flowers are observed in wild populations. Flower color is controlled at a single locus, with the pink allele completely recessive to the blue allele. Harding (1970) censused several lupin populations in the California Coast Ranges. In one population of lupins at Spanish Flat, California, he found 25 pink flowers and 3291 blue flowers, for a total of 3316 flowers. a) Calculate the expected allele frequencies and genotype frequencies if the population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
You are a rabbit breeder, and you decide that you want rabbits with long fur. Thephenotypic variance of fur length is 4 cm2. The covariance of fur length between betweenfull sibs is 1 cm2. The mean fur length in the initial population is 3 cm. You choose to breedthe top 1/3 of the population with the longest fur, and their mean fur length is 5 cm. Assumethat the covariance between sibs is due to only additive genetic variance.a) What is the narrow sense heritability (h^2 ) of fur length?b) What do you expect the mean fur length to be in the progeny of rabbits you breed?c) How many generations of this selection regime will it take for the mean fur length of thepopulation to be 10 cm? (Assume heritability and additive genetic variance remainunchanged throughout this process.)

Do a chi square tablet for the question. I left a reference down below. Question: 3. In dihybrid cross where both parents were heterozygous for both traits, the following data was obtained: 890 dominant for both traits, 97 recessive for both traits, 315 dominant for trait 1, but recessive for trait 2, and 298 dominant for trait 2, but recessive for trait one. Perform a chi-square analysis to determine if this data agrees with the expected outcomes. State your null hypothesis as well as if the null is rejected or not.
Half of the worlds population eats rice at least twice a day. Much of this rice is grown in flooded conditions, and different strains of rice are tolerant (survive) or intolerant (die) under these conditions. Rice breeders used genetic crosses to test whether tolerance to flooding is a dominant trait. Researchers used three true-breeding flood-tolerant strains, FR143, BKNFR, and Kurk, and two true-breeding flood- intolerant strains, IR42 and NB, in the crosses. Results were obtained from three sets of crosses and are reported in the Table below: Results of cross of F1 to tolerant parent: F1 plants were crossed with the tolerant parent of the cross. Number of Plants Progeny Analyzed from Intolerant Tolerant Cross Alive Dead Total 1. F2 results of cross: IR42 FR13A 187 77 264 IR42 BKNFR 192 73 265 NB Kurk 142 52 195 2. Results of cross of F1 to intolerant parent: (F1 of IR42 FR13A) IR42 14 17 31 (F1 of IR42 BKNFR) IR42 15 10 25 (F1 of NB Kurk) NB 21 35 56 3.

Justify your conclusion by explaining the results from each of the three sets of crosses in terms of genotypes and phenotypic ratios. Source: T. Setter et al. 1997.

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
